Just some updates

doodirockMay 1, 2007

Ok so I finished the new store page layout over here...

http://www.2old2play.com/modules.php?name=Spreadshop

And also added the new flash article block to the home pages. Things are moving slowly but at least they're are getting done. I know I'm taking a risk opening the site a little early, but I think it will be cool to see your reactions as things change over time.

Most notably will be the forum and the long process of implementing it's new layout and design. I see a lot of people grumbling about the look, but please understand, it is the SAME layout as it was before the site went off line. Nothing in the forum has changed at all. This is way things really look so out of place. All the color, gifs, images, layouts, sizes, fonts, will all need to be changed. Since the forums are the largest part of the site, I'm leaving that for last.

Once I get the news done I'm going to start my way around to each page for tweaking. After that I'll need to finalize the Navigation and figure out what is staying and what is going. After that I should be able to show you guys some of the kick ass new features we build around this design as well (clan pages anyone?) so stay tuned. Thanks.

Ignore the grumblers. We all appreciate everything you're doing to improve the site. Thanks!

Coming from someone who used to try and keep up with a site for a MMO gaming community - your work is appreciated even if it might not seem that way. Listen the Clem and ignore those who bitch w/o ever being in your shoes. It's a thankless job by and large, but it is appreciated!\r \r B.

Ignore the complaints as people are resistant to change. Keep up the great work Doodi.

Clan Pages! Do my eyes deceive me; I can't wait.\r \r Again, Doodirock, thanks! A very big thanks.\r \r Christendom

Great site design Doodi!

Doodi, the new site looks amazing. Good job to you [and D too if he did anything ;) ]

Then 2o2p logo says \"A Website for the Older Gamer\". I say change it to \"THE Website for the Older Gamer\". Just a thought.\r \r Otherwise, great look so far. Nice job.\r \r I can't help but think, I spent the weekend drinking and playing... you spent it working on the site. Great to be a member, not an Admin.\r \r Thanks!

I like the new top navigation tabs, it's pretty sick. Saves room in the body of the site too so the content can be wider . It was feeling a bit crammed the old way. \r \r So far looks cool. Dosn't really have a 'video game' theme anymore though. Not sure how i feel about the new skin of the site, it'll grow on me though.

Looks great Doodi!

Maxxie·May 1, 2007, 4:02 AM

I think the site has a more sleek and sexier design - great work! I appreciate all your hard work and effort!\r \r The further changes and features to wait for? It's like an extended Chirstmas gift giving session! I'm eager but patient ya know?\r \r :D\r \r M-
